I have seen this happen before. I used a liberal amount of dishwashing
soap mixed with water as a temporary coolant mixture for about a half
hour of idling. Then drain and flush with clear water thoughly before
refilling.
P.S. Always remember to use distilled water in your anti-freeze
solution to keep the mineral content down to a minimum. This works
wonders in eliminating lime buildup in the radiator that eventually
causes overheating. It also keeps the heater core clean inside for
maximum heat transfer on cold winter days.
